PETERSBURG, OCT. 22.--The following is an extract from a private letter received in town yesterday : —" I understand there has been a fabrication in the French papers, which some of the English journals have copied, about the Emperor having been shot at. They allege that they have it upon very good authority from Warsaw. You will not be surprised at such rumours having their origin amongst the troubled spirits of that devoted city ; but I can assure you, that the report is totally devoid of foundation. The accident which the Emperor met with when travelling through the provinces probably gave birth to the story." ( •%d_,r~~~~ 8 - tN, LONDON, NO V 1 11, 1836. DRURY-LANE THEATRE: 3tiairman) read the following letter, which he had received from Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P.:— " hard Eidnt you a copy of a Bill for establishing a council and auditors in every county, for the better ma nagement of county-rates, and for amending the laws relat ing thereto ; and I have to request you will cause the same to be laid before the magistrates of the county ; and I should be glad to receive their observations upon the same, to ascertain how far they agree with its provisions, to re ceive their comments and suggestions upon it, before I again introduce it into Parliament in the course of the next session. We subjoin the following notice of Mr. Forrest's pee formance of Damon, from the Morning Pest, as it just ex presses our own opinions of this gentleman's acting Last night the tragedy of Damon and Pythias was per formed at this theatre. It is the production of Mr. Banjul, a gentleman well known as the author of some popular novels, which have obtained a well-merited celebrity. Mr. Sheil is said, we know not with what truth, to have con tributed some share, either in the way of preparation or of finish, to this play. The public hitherto has known little, or rather nothing, about it ; and were it not for the selection of it upon this occasion by Mr. Forrest, it would probably con tinue still in obscurity. Every schoolboy is acquainted with the story of Damon and Pythias. Mr. Banim has treated it with some ingenuity for mere dramatic purposes, but the lan guage throughout is entirely beneath the dignity of tragedy. As the play is little known, it may be as well to give some idea of the plot in a few words. Dionysius having, with the aid of his friends, seised upon the citadel of Syracuse, is, by a ma jority of the Senate, proclaimed Tyrant, and invested with absolute sway. Damon and Pythias are mutual friends, and both ardent lovers of liberty. Damon, in consequence of his resistance to the tyrant, is sentenced to death. He prays as a boon that the execution might be delayed for a few hours, that he may take a last farewell of his wife and child, who are residing some short distance from Syracuse. Dionysius at first refuses, but, on the intercession of Py thias, consents to the delay, on the condition that Pythias himself shall remain a hostage, to suffer the punishment if Damon shall not appear. Damon is delayed until the time granted has nearly expired, and Pythias is just about to suffer when his friend rushes in, to take his place on the scaffold. The principal auxiliary incidents aro tender in terviews between Damon and his wife Hermeon, and be tween Pythias and his lover Calanthe, to whom during the progress of the piece he is united in marriage. Now for the performance ; and it is as well to say at once, that were it not for the manner in which the part of Damon was sustained by Mr. Forrest, and that of Pythias by Mr. Cooper, the play could not have gone successively through a trial at Drury-lane, however praise -worthy may be the exertions of Miss Taylor and Miss Huddart. In the first and second acts, Damon has little more to do than utter common-places on the subject of liberty, of tyranny, and of tyrants. It is very natural to suppose that, being a native of the United States, Mr. Forrest's heart is in the subject ; and, accordingly, these passages are given by him in lofty tones of Republican defiance, and his dagger is grasped with an energy, and his threats uttered in a voice, that might well be supposed to frighten a tyrant into the surrender of a sceptre, either inherited or usurped. Mr. Forrest's great triumph last night was in those parts of the play which call upon him for the display of a lofty and fearless spirit in the hour of danger ; of unconquerable love of liberty ; of ardent, immovable friendship ; of the tender affections of father and husband ; and his efforts, under these excitements, were most successful. There is no actor we know, or have ever seen, who seems to resign himself so completely to the strong impulses of his nature, or to produce for a moment so entire a for getfulness that one is in the presence of a man whose work may be as much a display of art as that of a painter. To say of him that in his great bursts of passion he is an imitator, is gross injustice or ignorance. Imitation is a poor, timid, crawling, unimpassioned thing. No mere imitator ever yet made an audience feel as he does. There is art, to be sure—there can be no acting without ; but it is an art that conceals art, and makes an audience feel, as strongly as reality could, that the soul of the man is rent by some mighty passion, or subdued into tenderness by friendship or love. There is a roughness of voice, hut that quality of the organ comes powerfully in sup port of energy, and, in scenes of tenderness, it has the power of descending, even to the softest tones which Pope could connect, in imagination, with his " prevailing gentle art." The scene with his wife and child, last night, was applauded from all parts of the house. She knows not of the fate which awaits him—that he is to die within an hour or two ; and the manner in which he slowly, and tremblingly, prepares her for the fearful intelli gence, drew tears from many of the audience. His recep tion of her suggestion, to leave the friend who became hostage for him to his fate, was marked with the mild con siderate indignation which nature, under such circumstances, would suggest to a noble spirit, fondly attached to wife and child, but more fondly still to truth and honour. There is seldom seen a more triumphant piece of acting, and it was applauded accordingly. Perhaps no nerves or frame but such as those possessed by Mr. Forrest could enable an actor, however great his tact and judgment, to go through the exertions required in the last act. The scaffold is erected, the executioner is prepared, the moment for the exe cution of Pythias is approaching, the tyrant is or at least seems to be inexorable, and no Damon appears. At length, at the moment the axe is about to be raised, a shout is heard—another, and another. It is raised at the approach of Damon, he rushes in, and never was exhaustion, deli verance, friendship, exultation, pride, contempt of death, defiance of tyranny, and determination to die, more power fully expressed than they were almost in one moment by the actor. He bounded to the scaffold. It was his throne. He rejoiced to die, for he had saved his honour and his friend. The house resounded with applause, and the cur tain dropped. Mr. Cooper sustained the part of Pythias with much energy ; but in this play all the work falls upon Damon. " I have the honour to be your obedient humble servant, "JOSEPH HUME. " Sergeant Adams, Chairman Middlesex Sessions." Mr. BAKER moved that the letter be printed, and circu lated generally amongst the magistracy of the county. Sir JOHN SCOTT LILLIE moved that the letter of the Hon. Member be acknowledged, and a committee named at once to consider the clauses and general principles of the Bill. Mr. GIBBONS moved the following resolution :—" That the Clerk of the Peace acknowledge the receipt of the letter of the Hon. Member, and that the Bill be left in the office of the Clerk of the Peace for the inspection ge nerally of the Magistrates of the county." Mr. BROUGHTON regretted that Mr. Ilume was not to be found amongst them to-day, as, if he had been, he would much more clearly see the feeling with respect to his Bill than he could do in any other manner. The amendment was carried by a majority of 17 to 8. _ - At a quarter to five the scrutineers entered the Court, and declared the numbers to be—for Mr. Flower, 58 ; Mr. Carpenter, 20 ; and Mr. Grellier, 18. Mr. M' WILLIAM moved that the names of the Magis trates who voted for each of the candidates should be taken down. Sir JOHN GIBBONS—I heartily second the motion, for I never wish to come to that dirty ballot.—(Hear, hear.) Let every Magistrate speak out his sentiments, and act boldly. Tile other business on the list being disposed of, the Court adjourned. MONEY MARKET. The uncertain state of things in the Money Market yes terday evening has turned the attention of many of our ca pitalists to projects of various kinds, calculated to help us out of our difficulties and to prevent their recurrence. Few of these have obtained a sufficiently respectable introduc tion to raise them into consequence beyond the mere cur rent topics of the day, but one project has been talked of to-day somewhat in detail, which many are sanguine enough to believe will ultimately be carried into execution, and which is certainly, in extent at least, an undertaking of the highest importance. The plan, which in its general bearings may be described very briefly, is to establish a sort of union of the joint-stock banks of the better class in Lancashire and Yorkshire, each bank in the union engaging to invest a certain portion of its paid-up capital in Government Secu rities and Exchequer Bills, such investment beinc , duly regis tered and certified, and other methods being taken to pre serve it sacred and inviolable for the object in view. Against these investments it is proposed to issue a corresponding amount of notes, bearing the impress of the "union," and which it is conceived would pass current, resting on so solid a se curity, as freely as notes of the Bank of England, or as bullion itself. Having established such a character for the proposed circulation, the further design is or is said to be, to obtain, if possible, the sanction of the Legislature to making such notes a legal tender within certain limits— the two counties, for example, already mentioned as the seat of the undertaking. Among the more important ef fects which the projectors of this plan anticipate from it is that of obviating the necessity of keeping any large stocks of gold in the manufacturing districts, which would therefore be sent up to London, and strengthen the currency of the Bank of England notes, while it would at the same time lessen their amount, as the notes of the " union " would, as they believe and expect, take their place in Yorkshire and Lancashire at least, if they were not spread over a wider range. We must be understood as giving this merely as an arrangement which has found partisans among wealthy and well-informed men ; it will be time enough to discuss its merits when it shall have been brought nearer to ma t urity.— Ti»zes. Tile private accounts from Dublin indicate a good deal of excitement in money matters in that capital, and the notes of some of the Banks have been sent in rather freely to be exchanged for Bank of Ireland notes or gold. In none of them, however, had any symptoms of weakness been apparent. That there has been an over-issue from some of them, and on security by no means unexception able, preceding accounts have made sufficiently evident, and it is not surprising that they should now be visited with the consequences of their imprudence. The Bank of Ire land had had no attack of this kind to sustain, but was acting with extreme circumspection, and limiting its issues as much as possible. Bills had been repeatedly refused dis count, to which under ordinary circumstances no objection could possibly have arisen.—Times. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—Y EsTEßzur.

The principal favourites remain pre cisely as before, nor did any change take place in the others, with the exception of Wintonian, against whom the highest offers were 20 to 1. Miss Clifton was backed two or three times at 35 to 1 ; 40 to 1 was offered against May Day, and 18 to 1 against him and Mango jointly. No others were men tioned.

PARIS, Nov. 9.-An important arrest has been made in Portugal-it is that of Count Albani, brother to the Car dinal of the same name, and on whom papers of great im portance have been seized : he was sent to Portugal by Don Miguel, to put himself at the head of a counter revolution.-La Pair, Nov. 9. PARIS, Nov. 8.-Great changes have taken place in the garrisons. Some regiments are sent from the North to the South, or from the South to the North, or from the East to the West. Some of them will have a month's march in a cold and rainy season. All this causes great expense, very unpleasant to the troops ; but there is a great word, which is an answer to every thing, and which has been strangely abused for some years past. Necessity this is the term in vogue, which requires that the poor soldier should be dragged away from his usual habits ; he must not have time to form connections with the citizens ; that would be dangerous. These measures are calledpolicy. -Messager, Nov. 9. FRENCH FUNDS -Pains, Nov. 9. Five per Cents., 106 f. sc. 105 f. 93c. 90c. 85c. Four per Cents.. 99f. Three per Cents., 79f. 15c. sc. 10c.

Attwood, candidate at the last election to represent the borough, claimed to vote for premises situated in Deptford.—Allowed. W. Gosling's occupation having been proved, it was ob jected that, his rates havin g been compounded for by hi s Landlord, he was not entitled to vote.—Name struck out. J. P. Robinson.--On this case a question arose as to whether the residence of the claimant, Camden -town, was within seven miles of the borough. Mr. Sandom having proved the distance, the claim was allowed. Wm. Carpenter was opposed on the ground that his assessed taxes were not paid on the 20th July. Mr. BROCKMAN decided that the claimant had not paid all taxes due from him in respect of the premises for which he claimed to vote, and therefore his vote was disallowed. J. Beardmore was objected to on the ground that he did not occupy as owner or tenant. The occupation was proved, and the rate-books proved his being rated for twelve months previous to July last, when it appeared that he was rated jointly with the Directors of the General Steam Navigation Company. Mr. BROCKMAN held this was not an occupation, and the vote was struck out. Several other persons' names were struck out, who claimed in respect of houses the rates of which were paid by their landlords. FINSBURY. SUMMARY OP THE REGISTRATIONS.

COUNTY DAY. 1,515 Yesterday being county day, the attendance of magis trates was more numerous than ever we recollect to have seen it, there being no less than ninety-six at one time in and about the Court. The principal business of the day was to proceed to ballot for the election of a distriet sur veyor, under the Building Act, for the parish of St. George in the East, and St. Botolph-without, Aldgate, and to con sider the letter of Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P., " relative to the Bill presented by him to Parliament in the last session, for establishing a council and auditors in every county, for the better management of county-rates, and for amending the laws relative thereto." The names of the candidates for the surveyorship are Mr. Richard Cromwell Carpen ter, Myddleton-square, Clerkenwell ; Mr. James Davies, of Devonshire-square ; Mr. Henry Flower, Upper Bedford place ; and Mr. William Grellier, 20, Wormwood-street. In the course of the morning Mr. Davies resigned the contest. Mr. M‘WILLiAm commented with much severity on two of the candidates being the near relations of two of the magistrates on the bench, and passed a high eulogium on the talents of Mr. Grellier. While the ballot was going on the other business was proceeded with. COUNTY RATES.—LETTER OF JOSEPH HUME, ESQ., M. 13. The Deputy Clerk of the Peace (by direction of the BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, Nov.

The Baron de Stassart is again chosen President of the Senate for the present Session. The Committees are en grossed in drawing up an address in answer to the King's Speech. M.

In 1835, 34,906,185 f. Thus our exports to France have increased 5,821,790 f., and our imports from that country have de creased to the amount of 2,755,632 f. GHENT, Nov. 9.—A Ghent journal says—" We learn from London that the marriage of the Princess Victoria with the elder of the two Princes of Saxe-Coburg, now at Brussels, is finally decided. A nephew of our K in; will therefore take his seat on the throne of England. Wil- tam IV. and his Queen were inclined to an alliance with the house of Orange Nassau. For this purpose the Princes of Orange had made several visits to London ; but the wishes of the Princess have been consulted, and it is in consequence of her declarations that the marriage has been decided on." This news will be disbelieved by a great many of our readers ; especially when we tell them that it is published by the Journal du Flanders, which is not calculated to ensure its authenticity. Besides, the English journals are silent on this important decision of the King of England which would be the more extraordinary as it would be opposed to the ge neral wish of the English nation, where all parties agree in rejecting a member of the same family as Prince Leopold as consort to the Princess. The motto of the Radicals, as well as the Whigs and Tories, is—No more Coburg. The news in the Journal des Flanders is excessively in need of confirmation.—Jovrnal du Commerce d'Anvers, Nov. 9.

REPLY OF THE FEDERAL DIRECTORY TO THE FRENCH NOTE OF SEPT. 27, Al FINALLY VOTED IN THE SIT- TING OF THE 6TH. The Avoyer and State Council of the Canton of Berne, forming the Federal Directory, having transmitted to the Extraordinary Diet the note received from the French En voy, are charged to reply : France and Switzerland, united for centuries, see this harmony compromised by a mistake. Both States ought to desire to see these ancient relations restored. As the difference proceeded from mistake, loyal explanations are the means of terminating it, and re-establishing the con nection previously existing between the countries. In the note of September the 27th, the French Government complained of the course adopted relative to Conseil. Be fore the Diet could make any communication upon the subject, the relations between the two countries were inter rupted by order of the French Government. Switzerland sees with greater pain this misunderstanding, as it never was her intention to disturb the amicable relations between Switzer land and France. The Duke of Montebello had drawn the at tention of the Federal Directory to Conseil by the com munication of the 19th July. The Directory transmitted to the Diet the document relative to the individual arrested. The Diet, perceiving a connection between the object of. the communication of the 19th of July and the docu ments in its possession, resolved to send them to the French Government, but without the intention of offend ing either Government or Ambassador. It never intended to add thereto the Report of the Commissioners, which, expressing but the opinions of the commissioners, re garded merely the relations of them with the Diet, and which, moreover, contained the opinion of the mi nority, as well as that of the majority. An incident of this nature ought not long to trouble the harmony existing between two nations ; and after the explana tions just given respecting a vote which was interpreted by France in a way contrary to the true intentions of Switzerland, the Diet declares that it will not follow up the matter. The note of M. de Montebello, of the 27th September, contains grave errors respecting the in ternal situation of the Swiss Confederation. The Diet might repel these allegations by facts, and would not want proofs in the Social constitution of the cantons, as well as in their material and moral state ; but it cannot enter into such discussions, the Helvetic cantons not allowing the right of any foreign notion to controul the march of its Government, or to intervene directly or indirectly, i n the deliberations of the councils of the Confederation. Switzerland owes it to herself to invoke in this respect the principles of the rights of nations, and the treaties which recognize her an independent State. At all events, the Diet, after the explanations and assurances which it has given, hopes that the relations of amity between France and Switzerland, cemented by time, will be re-established in the interest of both countries. It hopes that the bonds of an ancient alliance, relaxed for a moment, will become knit more strongly and closely, and that ephemeral dif ferences will have had the effect merely of making both States feel the reciprocal advantage of a union which ought never to have been disturbed. --- The Director of the Museum at Kertch, a town in the Crimea, on the Black Sea, lately discovered an ancient tomb of oblong shape, formed of very large hewn stones without any cement, containing a species of coffin in cyprus wood, enclosing a bronze urn, with the cover firmly soldered on, in which were the remains of burnt bones. Near the urn were two broken vases of alabaster, which, probably, contained o d or if erous essences , as us ed by the Greeks at their funerals. The shape of the urn, which has three handles, and is in very fine preservation, makes it of high interest and value. It is not perhaps possible to fix its precise date, but there is every reason to believe, from the form and construction of the tomb, that it goes as far back as the first colonisation of this country by the Greeks. that is, 150 years before Christ. N 4 U -." S .. 1: , .. 4- -4 ~:.- t--._. 4 j . .,./ 4 : - J!.-..------ Dulturst, 1z , , • - 1 , a V a REV. J. B. *Cam—This incendiary called a sPela meeting of the Protestant Confederation last night, to make his defence against the charges of Mr. West, 111.1?„ Mr. Mathews, &c. The scene was really disgraceful, ai. - a he only involved himself in still deeper difficulties. Every step he went farther into the mire.—Pilot. This Reverend I' 4.r. M'Crea laboured hard, despite the damning facts relative ~1 0 the bill of exchange, to prove that he was not a swindler, and that Mr. West's accusation was groundless. The most revolting feature in the case is his blasphemous assertion • that he was prompted by the Lord to practise the deceit and dishonesty which formed the subject of the serious charge against him. The scene of riot and confusion throughout among his auditory mocks all description—it was certainly quite in keeping with he who addresset2 the meeting. The following extract from a letter, written by Mr. Mat thews, affords evidence that needs no comment :—" Being . i t lentified with him (says Mr. Matthews) as I unfortuoately am, in the capacity of landlord, I suffered not only in the estimation of the Roman Catholics in my business, but also in that of the Protestants. When I had shown Ms. M'Crea how much his occupying my premises was injuring:. me, he kindly Fomised before the Confederation to give them up, on being paid 35/. 155., giving me ten days to con sider. After writing a note to him requesting the items, he came to say that he prayed to the Lord to direct him in taking the premises—the Lord told him ' go on and pros per ;' ho could not, therefore, recede, and, in pursuance of this boasted resolution, he stills holds possession." ORANGEISM.—At the dinner given on Thursday to. • Messrs. West and Hamilton, Members for the City of Dublin, by the Orange Association, which has now assumed the name of the Boyne Club, w sire informed by a con temporary that the name of the Heiress Presumptive to the Throne was passed by, and that the Duke of Cumber land usurped its place. The company were also told that the Dublin constituency had "earned of their country and of the empire at large, by hunting the monster (O'C onne ll) from our city, and forcing him to take refuge among the murderers of Carrickshock." It were difficult to determine which of the Orange characteristics shines out most beauti fully in this Christian sentiment—whether there be in it more of trod', or of good taste, or of right feeling, we leave to the judgment of the public. CONSERVATISM IN CORK.—We should not think it worth while to notice the dinner that was given at Cork last Friday, but for the sake of showing the sad and fallen condition of Conservatism in Ireland. The Cork Standard, a journal belonging to the Conservatives, contains the fol lowing admission :—" In Ireland Conservatism has not reached an equal growth, nor has it found a fixed place amongst the moral resources of the country—terrible as the necessities are which call for its powers." This is a candid revelation. It is true that in the next sentence a belief is affected to be entertained that Conservatism is, notwithstanding, growing and spreading. Nobody, howe ver, knows better than our Contemporary, that Conserva tism in Ireland, as well as throughout every part of the United Kingdom, is on its last legs, and can survive but for a very short period. Why even at thisgrand entertainment not one man of rank or station in the country attended. Conservatism must truly be growing and spreading in a surprising ratio when so honoured. THE TITHE WAR.—We publish from the Pilot, without comment, the following extract of a letter from Meath de scriptive of a fragment of that Establishment, to which so many victims are almost daily sacrificed :—" The Rev. Mr. Batty, rector of the united parishes of Duleek, Timool, Dowd, and Ardcath, in the barony of Upper Duleek, county of Meath, filed a bill in the Court of Exchequer against twenty-three persons in the parish of Ardcath. The defendants employed Philip Costello, Esq., Dominick -street, and appeared, put in an answer, &c. Michael Moore, one of the persons named in the bill, never was served with a supcena, either his house or any person belonging to him ; the fact is, another person, named Hand, was served in place of Moore, by leaving it in his (Hand's) house. Moore was arres:ed, under a writ of rebellion, in the cow fair of Drogheda, rzn Monday last, and, escorted by twelve soldiers and a sergeant, was lodged in the police-barrack of Duleek. On Monday nigh," he was handcuffed, and none of his fa mily would be allow,:sd to see him. He is not yet brought up. The rebellion rutZian is George Chinery, gate-keeper to H. Smith, Esq., Annesbeoo2c, J.P., and D.L. Chinery was lately discharged from the .oeath police for bad con duct. No appearance of defence I , :ras made for Moore to the bill, by direction of counsel. Niot , re is a v er y poor man , -nan, a magistrat e , has a large family, and, as you may Perceive, is cruelly treated. Mr. Smith's conduct, as a genile , and a deputy-lieutenant, is very extraordinat:v. The ab ove can be satisfactorily proved on oath. Mr. O'Connell will, we are pleased to lean:• for many reasons connected with his own and the country s advan tage, attend the Association to-morrow.—Pilot. TRADES ' POLITICAL UNION.—The weekly meetinj of this body was held last night at the Corn Exchange. CITY REGISTRY.—The Mail after boasting in most magniloquent terms of the results of the two days registra tion, suffers to ooze out the following significant admission -.: —" But still—will it be believed—there are a thousand' Protestant gentlemen resident in squares, and occupying the principal mansions in the fashionable streets of the city, for whom notices have been served, and yet who, from apathy or cowardice, have not as yet come forward, to en title themselves to sake a part in the contest on the day when the battle of the constitution is to be fought ?" CORK COUNTY REPREENNTATION —The meeting which we recently alluded took place yesterday. A difference of opinion prevailed as to the disposition of Mr. Roche, Jun. to come forward. The Southern Reporter says " that there appeared to be a universal feeling of regret that Lord Ennismore had not taken a different course from that pursued by the Noble Lord ; for had he determined on presenting himself to the county, his success would have been signal, and the representation would have been wrested from a party whose courses were inimical to civil liberty, and to the best interests of society." We rejoice to perceive that in the registry there is a clear majority in favour of the Liberal cause, amounting to 237. _ _ IRELAND. MURDER.—On Tuesday night last, as an honest indus trious poor man named Patrick King was returning from the fair of Westport to his residence at Ballybourke in Cork county, he was waylaidby several persons outside that town, who beat him in such a savage and inhuman manner as to cause' his death on the followinc , Thursday. The body of the unfortunate deceased, whob has left a wife and four children, presented a frightful proof of the sa vage barbarity of his murderous assailants. One of the party has been since apprehended, but the others have for the present eluded the vigilance of the police. WHISKEY.—The price of this spirit has advanced here as well as in Scotland. The present price is Gs. Bd., be ing 4d. per gallon more than was formerly charged. SCARCITY.—The City of Dublin has alrslady began to experience the effects of the short crops, and tLe inclement autumn. The Corn markets are everywhere rapidly on the advance ; fodder for beasts, and indeed proves; der, aro becoming immeasurably dear. The state of destitution to which the poor are reduced is truli frightful. Already the slow famishing typhus has set in ; And we greatly appre hend that, if immediate steps are not taken, with a view to prevention, the most fearful calamity will occur. We regret to be obliged to state that the disputes between the masters and workmen in the Potteries are not yet settled. It is understood that the number of men who have turned out are not fewer than 60,000. A meet ing was to have taken place on Wednesday last, in order to see if the differences could be adjusted ; but we have not heard the result. The yeomanry have, we believe, been called out, and oth er arrangements to guard aga i nst poss ibl e danger have been made. Upwards of twenty furnaces have been blown out in Staffordshire and Warwickshire, so that altogether the number of men out of employment there must be very great.—Morning Chronicle. L AUNCH.—Yesterday was launched from the dock- , yard of Messrs. Green, Wigram, and Green, at Blackwell, a steamer of two forty-horse power engines, intended as a tug vessel for the Symington Patent Paddle Steam Towing Company. It is calculated that this vessel, with the addi tional propelling power which the patent wheel affords, will be able to tow the largest class of Indiamen ; she is called the Copeland, in honour of the late Lord Mayor, he being of opinion that the Symington paddle wheel causes far less danger, and would, if generally used, be a matter of con siderable benefit to the watermen, whose boats are exposed to so much danger from the swell occasioned by the common wheel. When newspapers speak of Louis Bonaparte's family connections, they never fail to designate him as the sou of the Countess of St. Leu, as though he was not his father's son. We beg leave to ask if they have any par ticular reason for thus expressing themselves. We must further observe, it is no handsome reflection upon Madame de St. Leu's husband, as it implies that be has no chil dren of his own, and that Louis Bonaparte, the Napoleon the Second, of Strasburgh, is a widow's eldest son. This question of ours is not an idle one ; it was suggested by the desire evinced by certain friends of Bonaparte's name, of leaving a doubt in the mind of the public as to whether so near a descendant of the great man was really confined in a prison at Strasburg.—Paris Paper. Yesterday an inquest was held at the Queen' s Arms, Great Guildford -street, Borough, before Mr. Car ter, Coroner for Surrey, touching the death of Benjamin Clarke, late housekeeper in the employ of Messrs. Barclay and Perkins, the brewers. It appeared that on Saturday night last he came home tipsy, and went to bed in that state. On Sunday morning he was found dead in his bed. The appearance of the deceased showed that he must have died in great aga,ny. Verdict " Died from suffocation caused by excessive drinking."
